And Simon said: “Is this word
‘God’ His ineffable name, which all use, because you
maintain so strongly in regard to a name that it cannot be given to
another?” And Peter said: “I know that this is
not His ineffable name, but one which is given by agreement among men;
but if you give it to another, you will also assign to this other that
which is not used; and that, too, deliberately.13051305 Wieseler proposes to
join this clause with the following: “And in point of
choice the name which.” The name which is used is the
forerunner of that which is not used. In this way insolence is
attributed even to that which has not yet been spoken, just as honour
paid to that which is known is handed on to that which has not yet been
known.”
